Footprints: Sindh hardens its heartSaher BalochPERCHED high on a truck, Niaz Kalani of the Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM) is in the middle of an intense speech as he criticises and shames the elected representatives of Sindh for acting irresponsibly. In the sweltering noon heat, a motley group of people belonging to the Sindh Bachayo Committee (SBC) listen to him either sitting or squatting on red mats spread on the left lane of the main National Highway across the Bin Qasim bypass in Hyderabad. The area surrounding the sit-in seems festive, as a group of lawyers affiliated with the Progressive Lawyers Forum have also joined the protest. Sitting beside other SBC members, Asadullah Shah says: “As a people we have our sympathies with the IDPs but as part of a province our reservations are quite clear. The worsening law and order situation in Karachi, along with the ailing economy of the province in general, is reflective of the growing disparity across Sindh. Allowing unregistered IDPs anywhere is the biggest mistake a government can make.” | ||||||||||||||
